I got that with the kit I bought

Is your Timrod sort of like an alternate brace to reduce or stop motor twist/torque when you don't have solid engine mounts? I actually have the Stillen Engine Damper and I experience no slip at all when I almost hit 14psi at redline. Does your Radius rod do something else specifically to the engine and supercharger mounting bracket? If so I'll buy one from you.

It is specifically designed for the VORTECH SC. Without the Radius Rod, the Vortech Bracket will flex under load, starting at about 10-12psi. When the Bracket flexes then the belt loosens and then slips. The Radius Rod stops that from happening. And it has held up to 28psi.

It does not affect the motor mounts.......

The Stillen Engine Damper CANNOT Help with Vortech Belt Slip.

First round of parts being ordered tomorrow. Couple parts to finish the fuel system and the 1 piece charge pipe.

Looking at the setup I bought, I may want to order a different intercooler. Drop from the treadstone 1045 to a TR8l to see if I can get the most air to my radiator.

I use a TreadStone TR 1245 and I have no problems with cooling and I'm using the stock radiator.

Thanks for explaining the Timrod's purpose further for me, OldManZ350 I appreciate it.

Not in the same ballpark as Lens car in terms of cooling needs...

Len, I use the TR8. With stock radiator it overheats in 3-4 laps without ducting and 03 bumper. Ducting and a nismo bumper should keep it happy for a while in 80ish degree temps.

So you have a DE engine now... right Len?
Curious which belt routing diagram you plan to use
If you can post a pic that wiuld be great

That is a great question, it's probably going to be one based on not having a factory idles pulley.

Kit got here today, started going thru and inspecting everything. Need to get an order of parts started, then start hacking away on the install

Put my TR1045 up for sale , time to measure and figure out if I'll get a TR8 or TR8L

Got a stock vortech intercooler on the way.

Do know how much boost you are going to make, but the stock vortech IC is only goos to about 7-8psi.

No idea , probably the 3.13 with fluiddamper spun to 7500 on the built motor. Just the 3.3 pulley and maybe the fluiddamper on the current motor for now.

Parts are all ordered , should only need a few fittings and the return hose. Need to figure out what -6 hose to use ( so many types available ) and of course the tricky part of of how to plumb everything by the tank. Need to come up with a hose routing solution for the surge tank. Figure I'll run the car NA for a few days once I get the fuel system done, just for testing.

Need the address?

Someone learn me some info on fuel line. Obviously -6 from the fuel rail to the regulator mounted on the firewall, then -6 back to my surge tank near the fuel pickup area. Steel braided , nylon braided , smooth covering , what version of -6 fuel line is the right one to run.

i have used steel braided. Nylon braided. Gates Barricade rubber fuel hose. Vibrant rubber fuel hose. All depends on what you want to spend I guess. I have SS feed and rubber return on my car. When looking for the right hose look for rated psi and what chemicals it's made for
